Icon14 Tapout Black & Blue shorts review

Hey guys just got a new pair of Tapouts, their new "Black and Blue" shorts and wanted to give a quick review.



Their made of a heavier, more sturdy material than that light single-layer stuff some Tapouts are, which is great cuz they're much more durable. And even tho they're thicker they aren't bulky. The colors are great, very vivid, and they look very nice together. They have also made some slight new design improvements in their shorts. The inner drawstring is longer, which greatly helps in securing the shorts, becuase it makes tying them much easier. They also re-enforced the square piece of velcro at the top of the fly with a rubber front instead of cloth, also making the shorts more secure.

Overall I really love these shorts, they're great looking and the improved features really show Tapout's commitment to product quality. Also the shipping was very timely, I ordered them Sunday night, and they arrived this morning, Wednseday, which is extremely quick coming from Rancho Cucamonga, CA to Pittsburgh, and only on standard mail delivery.

PS- If your thinking about picking up a pair of these shorts I'd do it quick, as these are one of the few new styles they still have stock of, and they're a special limited quantity short to begin with.

In conclusion- Thumbs way up on these Tapout shorts and on the service from Tapout, first rate all around, I highly recommend them.

A lot of people on this board do not like Tapout, but I think they are great. I love my old reds and my Horns (which I am wearing right now) as well.

I like tapout for its camo variety. I'd love some blue and grey tapouts.

I think these shorts are awful looking. Aren't they the ones Cheick Kongo wore his last couple fights?
